Test Your Obama I.Q.: From Turkey Legs to Flip-Flops (The Kind You Wear On Your Feet)

It’s indicative of these polls when there are far more “what did he wear…” and “what car did he drive…” questions than there are “what was his position…” questions.

Ah more trivia!
Obama the trivia candidate with a flip flop score of 100%…..is there any deep there? Do we trust a guy who changes his name and his race to suit the moment? I am not into a candidate I do not trust to keep a promise or a steady course. He is a phony.
WHERE’S THE BEEF???

HP Bos… I guess that means you trust John McCain, who, BTW doesn; even know that Czechoslovakia doesn’t exit…

I trust McCain more that is true.
Obama believes we have 57 states and he also lied about taking campaign funds he said he would. No trust instilled in OBAMA AT ALL!

Give it a rest people with the canidates mis speaking did it ever ocurr to any of you these canidates may be tired running around the country oh let me guess you are all perfect and have never missed spoke

Obama has made flip-flopping the new “brand” of his candidacy since defeating Sen. Clinton. In the space of a month and a half, this candidate – - reversed or sharply modified his positions on at least nine key issues:
• After vowing to eschew private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money.
• Once he threatened to filibuster a bill to protect telephone companies from liability for their cooperation with national security wiretaps; now he has voted for the legislation.
• Turning his back on a lifetime of support for hand gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision.
• Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby at an AIPAC meeting in June that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. The very next day he repudiated his position on Jerusalem. Now he says he didn’t mean it when he said it.
• From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions. (David N. O’Steen, the executive director of National Right to Life, said Obama’s recent change of positions “are either quite disingenuous or they reflect that Obama does not know what he is talking about.” O’Steen added: “You cannot believe that abortion should not be allowed for mental health reasons and support Roe v Wade.”)
• For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor,(going so far as to support discrimination in employment by those groups for religious reasons) .
• Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq as the raison d’etre of his candidacy, he now pledges to consult with the military first.
• During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers — but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it.
• After specifically saying in the primaries that he disagreed with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s proposal to impose Social Security taxes on income over $200,000 and wanted to tax all income, he has now adopted the Clinton position.
Obama’s rapid flip-flops since securing the nomination in early June are materially different from McCain’s. While McCain had opposed offshore oil drilling and now supports it, the facts have obviously changed. Obama’s shifts have nothing to do with altered circumstances, just a change in the political calendar. Obama has flipped more in the last six weeks than a short order cook at IHOP.
As a candidate who was nominated to be a different kind of politician, Obama has set the bar pretty high. And, with his flipping and flopping, he is falling far short by repudiating his prior pledges on his purported core political beliefs. He now appears to be just another shady, if not corrupt politician, in the long line of shady and corrupt Chicago machine politicians. Their basic attributes are shady dealings with government contractors, if not outright political corruption, vindictiveness and ruthlessness, as well as a lack of integrity. They constantly change positions according to their audience, the venue and the issue de jour.
Obama’s rise is evidence that the traditional press has, once again, failed the public trust in not vetting this unqualified impostor, just as the press failed to have vetted the present fool who serves a President, George W. Bush, who has some of the same personality flaws: arrogance, dismissive of criticism, intoxicated with their own sense of historical importance, no real life experience, ill-prepared to govern, and vindictive ( which is amply demonstrated by the way he has mistreated Hillary ). Remember Bush like Obama ran on a pledge to unite the country.

Obama is an embarrassment and has been very deceptive since the beginning of the primary season. Those that once supported him are wondering if he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Clinton supporters have know about his unfair tactics all along. With God’s help the Obamanuts will wake up?
1.) Obama has lied and changed his story repeatedly throughout this primary season.
During the weeks of the Pastor Wright episode alone, Obama displayed a lack of credibility and character. Obama lied repeatedly about his relationship with Reverend Wright and his church.
Obam lied about what he knew, when he knew it, and majestically said he couldn’t disown Wright or his church, any more than he could disown his own grandmother or the entire black community.
However, in the end, Obama disowned both Wright and his church when it became to his political advantage to do so
The press actually praised his attempt to wriggle out from under the lies by giving a speech in Philadelphia.
2.)Obama lied to the people of Ohio about his position on NAFTA
3.) Obama misrepresented his position on Iraq which was revealed by one of his former foreign policies
4.) Obama lied during the Florida and Michigan controversy, running on a campaign slogan that “voices must be heard”. Somehow the press minimized Obama doing everything he could to keep the voices in Florida and Michgian from counting. Again Obama was viewed as honorable by spitting on Michigan and Florida voters when it was simply to further his own personal ambitions.
The press chose to ignore all this dishonesty and instead of holding Obama accountable, the press perceived him as a “winner”, his dishonesty meant nothing.
5.) Then we had this great line from Obama’s Memorial Day speech, something Im sure even any comedian would envy:
“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors it’s unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience today…”
Maybe now super delegates are starting to see why the majority of the party voted against him in the first place. Or did we forget that 18 million voters that saw through his web of deception and wanted Senator Clinton in the White House. An then we wonder why Clinton supporters kept using the term “drinking the Kool-Aid”.
Hillary Clinton has not withdrawn her name as a candidate. She hasn’t released her delegates. Her campaign is suspended, not over. Obama’s actual pledged delegate lead over Clinton is only 1% And lets not forget that Hillary Clinton is the winner of the popular vote. Hopefully, the superdelegates and pledged delegates will wake up before the convention.
Obama as the Democratic Presidential candidate has already become the bad joke that over 18 million people thought he would be. And it should be obvious by now that he is not going to leave anyone laughing when he loses in November.

We know very little about Barak’s background or family. There is a good article by his brother in usatoday 10/26/04 talking about his father. “He was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his,” said Malik, who likes to point out that his younger brother’s name is actually Barack Obama II, because their father was the original Barack Obama.
Their paternal grandfather, Onyango Hussein Obama, was one of the first Muslim converts in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Malik said. However, not all of his descendants are Muslim, Malik added. Barack is Christian.
The candidate’s father first worked as a university lecturer in Uganda after studying economics at Harvard University. He then worked in Kenya’s private sector before joining the treasury department, where he became a senior economist.
He died in car crash in 1982, leaving three wives, six sons and a daughter. All his children except Malik live in Britain or the United States. One of the brothers died in 1984.
